 guest, Theakston, John Smith's / Carling, Foster's |
Rustic wood and bare brick decor in this very pleasant pub / restaurant which was refurbished in late 98. Refurbished again in August 2001 and now more (fake) olde-worlde. The courtyard at the side is also pleasant in sunny weather.

Tetley, various / 1664, Carling, Foster's |
A large multi-roomed old pub, splendid inside and out. The refurbishment in 2001 added an extension with a very good modern-styled interior. Grade II listed building. Last visited June 2012. |
Gateacre Brow / Halewood Road |
Brown Cow

Boddingtons, Worthington / Carling, Heineken | A pleasant and friendly one-bar pub looking a little threadbare, especially on the outside. There's a small beer yard hidden at the back. On my most recent visit, they managed to serve sour keg bitter. LSTV. Grade II listed building. Last visited 2006. |
Halewood Road / Gateacre Brow |
| Crying Tree (Grange Manor) |
John Smith's / Carling, Carlsberg, Foster's, Stella | Grange Manor: A large old house with a truly spectacular interior and an impressive, if somewhat overgrown, sunken garden behind. It's a shame the beer doesn't live up to the wonderful surroundings. "Fundays" kids play area and "Celebrations" function suite attached. Relaunched as a gastro-pub in 2011. Last visited 2006. |
Gateacre Park Drive / Grange Lane |
| Falstaff (Boulevard) | Tetley / Carling, Carlsberg | An up market 60s pub with plastic decor somewhat marred by excessive food publicity, including, on one occasion, a giant cardboard Father Christmas on the 2nd of September! The menu looks good.

Gateacre Park Drive / Rockbourne Avenue |
| Gateacre Hall Hotel | John Smith's / Carlsberg, Holsten | A popular hotel bar with pleasant decoration including a stained glass lantern. Now closed and demolished
